Saturday 15 October 2022. Inner slide of the formation of Series D dell'Atletico Basket at the PalaSport Cavina on the third day of the Serie D Championship, this time against Masi after that of the previous week against Vignola, with players missing the match completely, nonostante il tentativo costante di Luca Pietrantonio di spronarli a reagire.
Difficulties emerge from the very beginning, because if the defense works, the attack is in hiding and the confirmation comes from the first partial, 11-12. In the second period, seeing the cold hands of the landlords, the guests played the zone card 3-2, for some action the Reds seem able to unlock, but it is again in defense that we suffer, conceding too easy triples and counterattacks and the -4 on the board at rest, 27-31.
The flaw in the defensive hull gets bigger in the third period, Masi takes advantage of it and buckets of points are conceded, even ending up in -20, also because completely lacking the defense, the attack doesn't have the chance to turn as it should and get into rhythm, the partial of the third period is eloquent, 8-23 (35-54).
Only pride allows the "Reds" to react in the last period, shortening to -12 finale, but the game never had a history and the bad evening in defense irreparably compromised the offensive percentages as well. Seasonal budget of 1-2, you need to react as soon as possible, above all in order not to lose morale and self-confidence.
Serie D Championship, Third day out:
Atletico Basket vs Pol. Masi 57-69
